Time and Money Well Spent

Xavier Becerra is the relatively new  Democratic California Attorney General appointed by Gov. Brown to fill the vacancy created when Kamala Harris was elected to the U.S. Senate. I was glad to see that Mr. Becerra was going to be a law-enforcer, and not just a politician, when he decided to prosecute Edith Knight of Atascadero, Ca. It was heartwarming to have him concentrate on our state instead of acting out against Donald Trump . . . Oops!

Mr. Becerra  recently filed an amicus brief joining 15 other attorney generals in supporting Washington State’s suit to kill President Trump’s travel ban.

I am sure that this was time and money well spent!

 

Luckily, here in California, we now have an attorney general who is ready to cooperate with Mr. Trump and in the enforcing of federal laws . . . Oops!

He is a known supporter of ‘sanctuary cities’ and in a recent article in The Atlantic he was described as apparently pausing during breakfast and issuing the following warning to Trump, “Be careful,” he said in a singsongy voice. “Be careful!”

I am sure that this kind of attitude will lead to more time and money well spent!
Anyway back to prosecuting criminals – which probably be #1 on any attorney general’s ‘to-do’ list. Mr. Becerra has decided to prosecute Edith Knight for the heinous crime of “unlawful electioneering” (2 counts) – if found guilty on both counts, she could spend up to a year in the county jail.

Strong work, Xavier!! . . . Oops!

Edith Knight is an 86 year old republican, who during the primary in June, 2016 was filmed (by an anonymous source) talking on a cell phone while sitting on a couch in an Elks Lodge in Atascadero. Stop laughing, as she was actually within 100 feet of a polling place, albeit in another room-separated by a wall. Also she was apparently talking to another prospective voter, although the other prospective voter was not on the premises.

Although I am not sure that this case is a crime worthy of the attention of the Attorney General’s office, I am sure that the Xavier Becerra considers this prosecution to be time and money well spent . . . after all here is a chance to put a Republican in jail!
